Appendix:Flying Type

type is one of the 18 Pokémon elemental types. Almost all Pokémon based on birds belong to this type. Pokémon which belong to this type are immune to Ground-type attacks under normal circumstances, but are weak to Electric-type, Ice-type and Rock-type attacks. Meanwhile, moves of this type are super effective against Bug-type, Grass-type and Fighting-type Pokémon, as well as being able to hit any opponent in Triple Battles regardless of positioning.

Flying-type Pokémon are widely used because of their advantages on Fighting-type and Ground-type Pokémon, as well as being able to learn HM Fly, allowing players to quickly travel between towns and cities. Most of them are also eligible to participate in Sky Battles.
